Porfiria Maribel Ramos Sanchez, 47, a citizen of Mexico residing in Vernon, CT, pleaded guilty to being part of a smuggling and labor trafficking scheme in CT. She assisted in smuggling aliens into the United States, harbor them at Hartford, CT-area residences, force them to work, and threaten to harm them in various ways if they failed to pay exorbitant fees.
According to this DOJ/FBI press release, they created false documents for the victims including residence and social security cards. Many were forced to perform housework and yardwork without compensation.
Between the lines: Isn't Hartford where the CT State Capitol is located? This is happening right under the noses of our politicians. Shameful.
